Let me restate :)<br><br>Connection.newConnection(Address[]) seems to be the best way, short of using HAProxy, to safely attain a connection to a cluster in the presence of nodes going down. �When we are mirroring queues across a cluster, is it important to connect to the "master" node for a queue, or should we randomize the Address[] to achieve some load balancing?<br>
